I have a project for you guys! Even people who don't have access to the server can take part!
Read on!
In the final, downloadable map for Rupture Farms (
NOT on the server, that would cause too much disruption and take too long), I plan to use MC edit to terraform the entire visible area around the front and sides of RF with mycelium, including the seas, and litter the area with small and medium sized industrial-like buildings and structures. These will be copy-pasted and placed randomly with pathways and roads between them in one big sprawl that'll stretch as far as the visible view distance from the areas where the player is meant to go - The idea being that players will be visually impressed when they first enter RF.
I also have plans for one of the later parts of the level for players to go briefly along a catwalk that goes along the top of one of RFs outer walls - They'll be able to see the landscape through the gaps in the panels.
What I want you to do:
To improve variety, I'll be needing lots of small-medium-sized industrial buildings to paste into my planned sprawl - Sort of like the existing buildings seen in that intro vid I made, under the RF billboard:
Build me small/medium sized industrial buildings, and
if they're good enough I'll be including them in my sprawl (but please don't feel disappointed if I don't chose your designs, I'm a little fussy). I'm talking chimneys, storage tanks, scaffolding, warehouses, pipework, pylons - Use your imagination. :P
You'll be credited on a big credits board that'll be seen next to the player spawn area if your designs are chosen, and also on the buildings that you build, for those who choose to flaunt the adventure map rules and go out of bounds to take a closer look (inevitable). I'll be building many of my own in addition to what I've already made of course, but this'll help the variety a little.
If you wish to demonstrate your buildings on the server, I've terraformed some of the sea next to RF as building space (circled in red) which I may extend later out to sea, depending on interest:
You can get to it by following this 35 second vid:
Or if you don't have access to the server:
Or don't have access to creative mode and don't feel like building in survival, you can build your buildings in single player and send me the map files for me to copy directly from using MC edit. (post a screenshot here, though)
Remember that anything built on the server won't appear in that location on the final map since I plan to terraform entire areas and move things around.
Happy building!
EDIT: Oh yeah if you'd like a progress update: There's not much to report. Until today, I haven't been working on it much lately, mainly on cosmetic stuff for an hour a day over the past 4 days. There is still some progress and I am actively working on it, but I've stalled a little while I think of level layouts. On the 18th the project turned 9 months old.
